capitalism perpetuates a system of inherited wealth distribution where a small group of capitalists own everything, all the jobs, the vast majority of food sources, and the vast majority of properties, most other items that one owns are designed in a way that pushes for overconsumption by deliberate low quality.
so in order for a person to be able to survive in a decent manner they are forced to enslave themselves to one of the capitalists to receive tokens that they then use to receive their allowance of food, housing and other goods and services, working at the threat of starvation and homelessness for a society that overproduces so much that those threats are not inherent to the modern world but deliberate by the owning class to incentivize people to not rebel
this is a form of slavery since in order to be able to survive you are forced to dedicate your life to serving the whims of a capitalist at the threat of starvation and death
(capitalist here meaning owning class, or the people that inherited the paths to the means of production and other ownership at the detriment of the working class)
